This section was inspired by a good friend of ours who once told her brother that she was meeting us at the bar to watch the Dolphins play the Yankees!!

Below are some funny examples of how football terminology can sometimes be misinterpreted by those who don't know football. (we've also included the "real" meaning for each, just in case someone wants to learn a little something!)

UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT

Unnecessary Celebration in the Endzone

There's confidence....and then there's this guy. (sigh) The one who thinks he deserves a cheering section after a late night "performance".

In the NFL, this penalty targets players who act in a manner that is unsportsmanlike.

RED ZONE

In dating, the Red Zone is the moment at the end of the date when a woman decides how the night will end. Will she bring her date upstairs and give him the chance to score? Or does he get sent home to rethink his game?

According to the NFL, the Red Zone is the area between the 20-yard line and the goal line, where the team has an opportunity to score a touchdown.

INELIGIBLE RECEIVER

Sure, buddy, she's cute, but COME ON! She's obviously an Ineligible Receiver for whatever cheezy pick up lines you're throwing at her. Give it up. She ain't goin' home with you!

In professional football, an Ineligible Receiver is an offensive player who may not legally catch a forward pass.

ROOKIE

What is the old saying? Beer before liquor - never sicker? A Rookie in the bar is someone who is new to the concept of drinking, while a Rookie in professional football is a player who is in his first season.

ILLEGAL USE OF HANDS

There's always that one guy in every bar who decides that he'll have a better chance of attracting a woman by practicing Illegal Use of the Hands.

In professional football, Illegal Use of Hands is when a player uses his hands in unnecessary ways, such as holding onto another player's jersey and/or body.
